Reclaiming my time, it is my further understanding that it may be the case that certain EPA regions are not using the aforementioned moneys for section 314 programs. This raises very serious concerns as to why the EPA in certain regions of the country would refuse to fund 314 projects. I would ask the gentleman, as chairman of the VA/HUD Subcommittee on Appropriations, to request of EPA a report on what, if any, 314 programs have been funded in the past year. Further, I would ask that the report be compiled by region. In other words, I would, with the assistance of the chairman, request EPA to compile a report which states region by region what section 314 projects have been funded since June 1996. This report should be delivered to the Congress by August 31, 1997. Would the chairman lend his active support to our effort in this regard?
